Golden Gate. — This is undoubtedly the finest pure yellow 

 Carnation Pink yet produced. It is a seedling of Hinzey's 

 White fertilized with Field of Gold. The plant is a vigorous, 

 healthy grower, of rather dwarf habit, blooms quicklv and 

 profusely all through the season ; the color is pure golden 

 yellow, without stripe or variation of any kind. The flowers 

 are elegantly formed, very full and beautifully fringed, and 

 quite fragrant. The best yellow for general planting (see 

 cut). 20 cts. each. 



Grace Darling' (New). — This grand new Carnation has 

 taken the highest premium and certificates of merit at Boston, 

 New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, and, we -believe, 

 stands without a peer among pink Carnations. The color is 

 a lovely shade of peach blossom, deepest in centre, and hav- 

 ing a peculiar luxurious burnished appearance, very difficult 

 to describe but superbly beautiful. The plant is a healthy, 

 vigorous grower, of medium height, blooming quickly and 

 continuously all through the season. The flowers are well 

 borne up on long stout stems, and are very symmetrical, full 

 and regular in form and quite fragrant; the petals are deeply 

 fringed, and it is in all respects a most lovely and beautiful 

 variety, valuable alike for open-ground and house culture. 

 We put the price as low as possible and hope it will be largely 

 planted. 25 cts. each.
